I’ve just been reminded of the one where somebody’s husband ate one of the fatballs that the kids had made.

DisgraceToTheChromosome has a lovely thread about his grandson

And Balonz anyone?

There’s also “drug dependant baby, please advise”. Obviously not light-hearted, but well worth a read. It’s near the top of the first page of Classics.
